Where it can actually go
A ultra-long-range typically needs around 6,500 ft of runway at mid weights. Measured against the 135 airports we hold real runway data for: 95 can take it, 40 cannot. Out of reach on this list: Salerno / Pontecagnano Airport (QSR, 6,437 ft), Mikonos Airport (JMK, 6,240 ft), Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport (FXE, 6,002 ft). That is the constraint most spec sheets leave out.

Good to know
Typical US charter rates run $9,000–$11,500 per flight hour, so a two-hour leg lands around $18,000–$23,000 before positioning. These are market estimates, not quotes — the fixed all-in number depends on your dates, positioning and airport fees, and dispatch sends it within about 30 minutes.
12 in the normal charter layout and up to 16 in a high-density configuration. Baggage is the usual real constraint: 140 cubic feet, roughly 35 large cases with soft bags on top.
6,450 nautical miles (7,423 statute miles) at a 459 kt cruise. Real range drops with headwind, full seats and hot high airports, so we plan the fuel stop rather than discover it.
As a ultra-long-range it typically needs about 6,500 ft of runway at mid weights. Across the 135 airports we hold runway data for, 95 are long enough and 40 are not — dispatch checks the actual field against your date, temperature and payload before confirming.
